DETAILED DESCRIPTION

It is well understood that the use of personally identifiableinformation should follow privacy policies and practices that aregenerally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmentalrequirements for maintaining the privacy of users. In particular,personally identifiable information data should be managed and handledso as to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use,and the nature of authorized use should be clearly indicated to users.

The present disclosure will now be described with reference to theattached drawing figures, wherein like reference numerals are used torefer to like elements throughout, and wherein the illustratedstructures and devices are not necessarily drawn to scale. As utilizedherein, terms “component,” “system,” “interface,” and the like areintended to refer to a computer-related entity, hardware, software(e.g., in execution), and/or firmware. For example, a component can be aprocessor (e.g., a microprocessor, a controller, or other processingdevice), a process running on a processor, a controller, an object, anexecutable, a program, a storage device, a computer, a tablet PC and/ora user equipment (e.g., mobile phone or other device configured tocommunicate via a 3GPP RAN, etc.), a user equipment device (UE device)with a processing device. By way of illustration, an application runningon a server and the server can also be a component. One or morecomponents can reside within a process, and a component can be localizedon one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. A setof elements or a set of other components can be described herein, inwhich the term “set” can be interpreted as “one or more,” unless thecontext indicates otherwise (e.g., “the empty set,” “a set of two ormore Xs,” etc.).

Further, these components can execute from various computer readablestorage media having various data structures stored thereon such as witha module, for example. The components can communicate via local and/orremote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or moredata packets (e.g., data from one component interacting with anothercomponent in a local system, distributed system, and/or across anetwork, such as, the Internet, a local area network, a wide areanetwork, or similar network with other systems via the signal).

As another example, a component can be an apparatus with specificfunctionality provided by mechanical parts operated by electric orelectronic circuitry, in which the electric or electronic circuitry canbe operated by a software application or a firmware application executedby one or more processors. The one or more processors can be internal orexternal to the apparatus and can execute at least a part of thesoftware or firmware application. As yet another example, a componentcan be an apparatus that provides specific functionality throughelectronic components without mechanical parts; the electroniccomponents can include one or more processors therein to executesoftware and/or firmware that confer(s), at least in part, thefunctionality of the electronic components.

Use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concretefashion. As used in this application, the term “or” is intended to meanan inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or”. That is, unlessspecified otherwise, or clear from context, “X employs A or B” isintended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, ifX employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then “X employs Aor B” is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. In addition,the articles “a” and “an” as used in this application and the appendedclaims should generally be construed to mean “one or more” unlessspecified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singularform. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms “including”, “includes”,“having”, “has”, “with”, or variants thereof are used in either thedetailed description and the claims, such terms are intended to beinclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.” Additionally, insituations wherein one or more numbered items are discussed (e.g., a“first X”, a “second X”, etc.), in general the one or more numbereditems can be distinct or they can be the same, although in somesituations the context can indicate that they are distinct or that theyare the same.

As used herein, the term “circuitry” can refer to, be part of, orinclude an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), an electroniccircuit, a processor (shared, dedicated, or group), and/or memory(shared, dedicated, or group) that execute one or more software orfirmware programs, a combinational logic circuit, and/or other suitablehardware components that provide the described functionality. In someaspects, the circuitry can be implemented in, or functions associatedwith the circuitry can be implemented by, one or more software orfirmware modules. In some aspects, circuitry can include logic, at leastpartially operable in hardware.

Various aspects discussed herein can relate to facilitating wirelesscommunication, and the nature of these communications can vary.

Mobile communications in next generation wireless communication systemscontinue to include features that support efficient use of resourceswhile simultaneously supporting higher communication bandwidths andreliability. NR networks implement beam management techniques thatinclude beam failure detection and recovery procedures to increaseconnection fidelity in adverse reception environments. Afterestablishing a connection to a downlink (DL) beam, a UE can detect abeam failure with the DL beam. During the beam failure event, the UE canengage in various different beam failure recovery (BFR) and candidatebeam detection (CBD) procedures. BFR and CBD procedures can includevarious measurement and signaling events between a UE and the NRnetwork, which take time and impacts resource utilization.

The measurements can include one or more of measurements defined by 3GPPTS 38.213 for example at section 6, synchronization signal block (SSB),or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) measurementsbased on a network radio resource channel (RRC) configuredcandidateBeamRSList or according to the SSB resource, if a candidatebeam reference signal list is not received/there is not a RRC configuredcandidateBeamRSList, or if a beam failure recovery timer(beamFailureRecoveryTimer) has expired. Measurements can take placeaccording to a CBD procedure. In one aspect, in conclusion of the CBDprocedure, a BFR procedure can be initiated on a chosen resource basedon measurement results associated with the CBD procedure until a randomaccess channel (RACH) procedure is successfully completed. In anotheraspect, the CBD procedure can continue in parallel with the RACHprocedure. The RACH procedure can include various amounts of UE andnetwork signaling depending on if a contention based random access(CBRA) BFR process or a contention free random access (CFRA) BFR processis used.

In some situations, after a beam failure is detected, it is possible forthe UE to maintain the link with the failed DL beam shortly after thebeam failure is detected. In these situations, measurement and signalingevents between the UE and the NR network can be skipped therebyrestoring reception quicker and making efficient use of resources. TheUE can detect a recovery abort condition after beginning a CBD procedureor a BFR procedure, and autonomously abort the CBD or BFR procedurebefore continuing measurements or a RACH procedure. After aborting theCBD or BFR procedure, the UE can maintain connection with the DL beam.

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards anautonomous UE beam failure recovery abort procedure, and thus, canconfigure the UE beam failure recover abort procedure dynamically andautonomously without an external or base station trigger. After the UEdetects the beam failure and initiates the BFR or CBD procedure, the UEcan begin detection of the recovery abort condition. The recovery abortcondition can include one or more conditions as described, for example,below/herein.

A first condition can be associated with a recovery indication thresholdwhereby the recovery abort condition can be satisfied when a number ofno beam failure indications (BFIs) (or beam failure instances) satisfiesa recovery indication threshold. A second condition can be associatedwith a quasi-co-located (QCLed) resource threshold that is QCLed withthe failed beam. The recovery abort condition can be satisfied when theQCLed resource threshold is satisfied. A third condition can beassociated with a CBD best candidate beam that is QCLed with the failedDL beam. The third condition can be satisfied when the CBD bestcandidate beam's reference signal received power (RSRP) satisfies a RSRPthreshold, and the best candidate beam is QCLed with the failed DL beam.

The recovery abort condition (e.g., at least one of: the first, second,or third condition, as described herein) indicates that condition(s) tomaintain connection with the failed beam are met, and that the failedbeam is a valid connection beam. Furthermore, the UE can determine thata RACH procedure associated with a CBRA based BFR or a CFRA based BFRare not complete. The UE can autonomously abort the CBD or BFRprocedures before at least one of a CBRA message 3 (Msg3) or a CFRAmessage 1 (Msg1) are transmitted, or after a RACH attempt fails. A RACHattempt failure can occur when a CFRA message 2 (Msg2) or a CBRA message4 (Msg4) are not successful. Then the UE can maintain the connectionwith the failed DL beam. As such, the UE saves resources by skippingfurther measurements and signaling events, and maintaining receptionwith the network.

Aspects described herein can be implemented into a system using anysuitably configured hardware and/or software.

In some aspects, mixer circuitry 206 a of thereceive signal path can comprise passive mixers, although the scope ofthe aspects is not limited in this respect.

In some aspects, the mixer circuitry 206 a of the transmit signal pathcan be configured to up-convert input baseband signals based on thesynthesized frequency provided by the synthesizer circuitry 206 d togenerate RF output signals for the FEM circuitry 208. The basebandsignals can be provided by the baseband circuitry 204 and can befiltered by filter circuitry 206 c.

For example, synthesizer circuitry 206 dcan be a delta-sigma synthesizer, a frequency multiplier, or asynthesizer comprising a phase-locked loop with a frequency divider.

The synthesizer circuitry 206 d can be configured to synthesize anoutput frequency for use by the mixer circuitry 206 a of the RFcircuitry 206 based on a frequency input and a divider control input. Insome aspects, the synthesizer circuitry 206 d can be a fractional N/N+1synthesizer.

In some aspects, frequency input can be provided by a voltage controlledoscillator (VCO), although that is not a requirement. Divider controlinput can be provided by either the baseband circuitry 204 or theapplication circuitry 202 depending on the desired output frequency. Insome aspects, a divider control input (e.g., N) can be determined from alook-up table based on a channel indicated by the application circuitry202.

Synthesizer circuitry 206 d of the RF circuitry 206 can include adivider, a delay-locked loop (DLL), a multiplexer and a phaseaccumulator. In some aspects, the divider can be a dual modulus divider(DMD) and the phase accumulator can be a digital phase accumulator(DPA). In some aspects, the DMD can be configured to divide the inputsignal by either N or N+1 (e.g., based on a carry out) to provide afractional division ratio. In some example aspects, the DLL can includea set of cascaded, tunable, delay elements, a phase detector, a chargepump and a D-type flip-flop. In these aspects, the delay elements can beconfigured to break a VCO period up into Nd equal packets of phase,where Nd is the number of delay elements in the delay line. In this way,the DLL provides negative feedback to help ensure that the total delaythrough the delay line is one VCO cycle.

In some aspects, synthesizer circuitry 206 d can be configured togenerate a carrier frequency as the output frequency, while in otheraspects, the output frequency can be a multiple of the carrier frequency(e.g., twice the carrier frequency, four times the carrier frequency)and used in conjunction with quadrature generator and divider circuitryto generate multiple signals at the carrier frequency with multipledifferent phases with respect to each other. In some aspects, the outputfrequency can be a LO frequency (fLO). In some aspects, the RF circuitry206 can include an IQ/polar converter.

In various aspects, theamplification through the transmit or receive signal paths can be donesolely in the RF circuitry 206, solely in the FEM circuitry 208, or inboth the RF circuitry 206 and the FEM circuitry 208.

In some aspects, the FEM circuitry 208 can include a TX/RX switch toswitch between transmit mode and receive mode operation. The FEMcircuitry can include a receive signal path and a transmit signal path.The receive signal path of the FEM circuitry can include an LNA toamplify received RF signals and provide the amplified received RFsignals as an output (e.g., to the RF circuitry 206).

In some aspects, the PMC 212 can manage power provided to the basebandcircuitry 204. In particular, the PMC 212 can control power-sourceselection, voltage scaling, battery charging, or DC-to-DC conversion.The PMC 212 can often be included when the device 200 is capable ofbeing powered by a battery, for example, when the device is included ina UE. The PMC 212 can increase the power conversion efficiency whileproviding desirable implementation size and heat dissipationcharacteristics.

While FIG. 2 shows the PMC 212 coupled only with the baseband circuitry204. However, in other aspects, the PMC 212 can be additionally oralternatively coupled with, and perform similar power managementoperations for, other components such as, but not limited to,application circuitry 202, RF circuitry 206, or FEM circuitry 208.

In some aspects, the PMC 212 can control, or otherwise be part of,various power saving mechanisms of the device 200. For example, if thedevice 200 is in an RRC_Connected state, where it is still connected tothe RAN node as it expects to receive traffic shortly, then it can entera state known as Discontinuous Reception Mode (DRX) after a period ofinactivity. During this state, the device 200 can power down for briefintervals of time and thus save power.

If there is no data traffic activity for an extended period of time,then the device 200 can transition off to an RRC_Idle state, where itdisconnects from the network and does not perform operations such aschannel quality feedback, handover, etc. The device 200 goes into a verylow power state and it performs paging where again it periodically wakesup to listen to the network and then powers down again. The device 200can not receive data in this state; in order to receive data, it cantransition back to RRC_Connected state.

An additional power saving mode can allow a device to be unavailable tothe network for periods longer than a paging interval (ranging fromseconds to a few hours). During this time, the device is totallyunreachable to the network and can power down completely. Any data sentduring this time incurs a large delay and it is assumed the delay isacceptable.

Processors of the application circuitry 202 and processors of thebaseband circuitry 204 can be used to execute elements of one or moreinstances of a protocol stack. For example, processors of the basebandcircuitry 204, alone or in combination, can be used execute Layer 3,Layer 2, or Layer 1 functionality, while processors of the applicationcircuitry 202 can utilize data (e.g., packet data) received from theselayers and further execute Layer 4 functionality (e.g., transmissioncommunication protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) layers).As referred to herein, Layer 3 can comprise a radio resource control(RRC) layer, described in further detail below. As referred to herein,Layer 2 can comprise a medium access control (MAC) layer, a radio linkcontrol (RLC) layer, and a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP)layer, described in further detail below. As referred to herein, Layer 1can comprise a physical (PHY) layer of a UE/RAN node, described infurther detail below.

FIG. 3 illustrates example interfaces of baseband circuitry inaccordance with some aspects. As discussed above, the baseband circuitry204 of FIG. 2 can comprise processors 204A-204E and a memory 204Gutilized by said processors. Each of the processors 204A-204E caninclude a memory interface, 304A-304E, respectively, to send/receivedata to/from the memory 204G.

The baseband circuitry 204 can further include one or more interfaces tocommunicatively couple to other circuitries/devices, such as a memoryinterface 312 (e.g., an interface to send/receive data to/from memoryexternal to the baseband circuitry 204), an application circuitryinterface 314 (e.g., an interface to send/receive data to/from theapplication circuitry 202 of FIG. 2 ), an RF circuitry interface 316(e.g., an interface to send/receive data to/from RF circuitry 206 ofFIG. 2 ), a wireless hardware connectivity interface 318 (e.g., aninterface to send/receive data to/from Near Field Communication (NFC)components, Bluetooth® components (e.g., Bluetooth® Low Energy), Wi-Fi®components, and other communication components), and a power managementinterface 320 (e.g., an interface to send/receive power or controlsignals to/from the PMC 212).

As discussed in greater detail herein, various aspects, which can beemployed, for example, at a UE, can facilitate power management inconnection with wireless modem(s). Various aspects can employ powermanagement techniques discussed herein, wherein, based on monitoredlevels of power consumption and temperature, one or more powermanagement stages discussed herein can be employed to mitigateoverheating. Power management stages discussed herein can reduce powerconsumption and associated overheating caused by 5G (Fifth Generation)NR (New Radio) operation, LTE (Long Term Evolution) operation, or both.

System 400 can include processor(s) 410, communicationcircuitry 420, and memory 430. Processor(s) 410 (e.g., which cancomprise one or more of 202 and/or 204A-204F, etc.) can compriseprocessing circuitry and associated interface(s) (e.g., a communicationinterface (e.g., RF circuitry interface 316) for communicating withcommunication circuitry 420, a memory interface (e.g., memory interface312) for communicating with memory 430, etc.). Communication circuitry420 can comprise, for example circuitry for wired and/or wirelessconnection(s) (e.g., 206 and/or 208), which can include transmittercircuitry (e.g., associated with one or more transmit chains) and/orreceiver circuitry (e.g., associated with one or more receive chains),wherein transmitter circuitry and receiver circuitry can employ commonand/or distinct circuit elements, or a combination thereof). Memory 430can comprise one or more memory devices (e.g., memory 204G, local memory(e.g., including CPU register(s)) of processor(s) discussed herein,etc.) which can be of any of a variety of storage mediums (e.g.,volatile and/or non-volatile according to any of a variety oftechnologies/constructions, etc.), and can store instructions and/ordata associated with one or more of processor(s) 410 or transceivercircuitry 420).

Memory 430 (as well as other memory components discussed herein, e.g.,memory 204G, data storage, or the like) can comprise one or moremachine-readable medium/media including instructions that, whenperformed by a machine or component herein cause the machine to performacts of the method or of an apparatus or system for concurrentcommunication using multiple communication technologies according toaspects and examples described herein. It is to be understood thataspects described herein can be implemented by hardware, software,firmware, or any combination thereof. When implemented in software,functions can be stored on or transmitted over as one or moreinstructions or code on a computer-readable medium (e.g., the memorydescribed herein or other storage device). Computer-readable mediaincludes both computer storage media and communication media includingany medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from oneplace to another. A storage media or a computer readable storage devicecan be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose orspecial purpose computer.

Forexample, if software is transmitted from a website, server, or otherremote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair,digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such asinfrared, radio, and microwave, then coaxial cable, fiber optic cable,twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, andmicrowave are included in the definition of medium. Furthermore, thecomputer-readable medium may include non-transitory computer-readablemedium. Non-transitory computer-readable medium includes all computerreadable medium with the sole exception being a transitory, propagatingsignal.

Specific types of aspects of system 400 (e.g., UE aspects) can beindicated via subscripts (e.g., system 400 _(UE) comprising processor(s)410 _(UE), communication circuitry 420 _(UE), and memory 430 _(UE)). Insome aspects, such as BS aspects (e.g., system 400 _(gNB)) and networkcomponent (e.g., UPF (User Plane Function), etc.) aspects (e.g., system400 _(UPF)) processor(s) 410 _(gNB) (etc.), communication circuitry(e.g., 420 _(gNB), etc.), and memory (e.g., 430 _(gNB), etc.) can be ina single device or can be included in different devices, such as part ofa distributed architecture. In aspects, signaling or messaging betweendifferent aspects of system 400 (e.g., 400 ₁ and 400 ₂) can be generatedby processor(s) 410 ₁, transmitted by communication circuitry 420 ₁ overa suitable interface or reference point (e.g., a 3GPP air interface, N3,N4, etc.), received by communication circuitry 420 ₂, and processed byprocessor(s) 410 ₂. Depending on the type of interface, additionalcomponents (e.g., antenna(s), network port(s), etc. associated withsystem(s) 400 ₁ and 400 ₂) can be involved in this communication.

In various aspects, one or more of information (e.g., systeminformation, resources associated with signaling, etc.), features,parameters, etc. can be configured to a UE via signaling (e.g.,associated with one or more layers, such as L1 signaling or higher layersignaling (e.g., MAC, RRC, etc.)) from a gNB or other access point(e.g., via signaling generated by processor(s) 410 _(gNB), transmittedby communication circuitry 420 _(gNB), received by communicationcircuitry 420 _(UE), and processed by processor(s) 410 _(UE)). Dependingon the type of information, features, parameters, etc., the type ofsignaling employed and/or the exact details of the operations performedat the UE and/or gNB in processing (e.g., signaling structure, handlingof PDU(s)/SDU(s), etc.) can vary. However, for convenience, suchoperations can be referred to herein as configuringinformation/feature(s)/parameter(s)/etc. to a UE, generating orprocessing configuration signaling, or via similar terminology.

The 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) technical specifications(TSs) define optional power management related messages between a UE(User Equipment) and Base Station (BS, e.g., eNB (Evolved Node B) or gNB(next generation Node B), etc.).

In some aspects a UE 101 can establish a connection with a downlink (DL)beam of a network. The UE 101 can, for example, have one or more ofcomponents of the device 200, or aspects of system 400 including system400 _(UE), with processors 410 _(UE), communication circuitry 420 _(UE),memory 430 _(UE) or the like. The UE 101 can, for example, establish aconnection with the DL beam by communication circuitry communicationcircuitry 420 _(UE) communicatively coupled to the memory 430 _(UE) andconfigured to perform various operations. Further, the components can bean apparatus with specific functionality and the components can executefrom various computer readable storage media or non-transitory computerreadable media.

The DL beam can be a DL beam of a RAN node 110 which can include on ormore of the BS, eNB, gNB, or other nodes discussed in FIG. 1 . The RANnode 110 can, for example, have one or more components of the device200, or aspects of system 400 including system 400 _(gNB), processor 410_(gNB), communication circuitry 420 _(gNB), memory 430 _(gNB) or thelike. Further, the components can be an apparatus with specificfunctionality and the components can execute from various computerreadable storage media or non-transitory computer readable media.

The processor 410 _(UE) of the UE 101 can detect a beam failure of theDL beam. The beam failure can occur in response to a quality metricmonitored by the communication circuitry 420 _(UE) falling below acertain quantity. For example, the beam failure can be based on at leastone of a CSI-RS resource, a SSB resource of a NW RRC configured failuredetection resource(s) (failureDetectionResources), or a CSI-RS resourcecomprised in an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI). Insome aspects where multiple CSI-RS resources are in the active TCIstate, the beam failure is associated with the CSI-RS that is QCLed withQCL Type-D in the active TCI State.

In response to the beam failure, the processor 410 _(UE) can execute atleast one of a BFR procedure or a CBD procedure. In some aspects, theCBD procedure is executed, and the BFR procedure is executed when theCBD procedure is completed. In other aspects the BFR procedure can beexecuted before the CBD procedure is completed, or the BFR and CBDprocedures can be executed in parallel. The CBD procedure can determinecandidate beam(s) of the BS in which beam failure was detected. The BFRprocedure can recover connection with the BS by initiating a RACHprocedure corresponding to a candidate beam of the determined candidatebeams from the CBD procedure. If at least one of the BFR procedure orthe CBD procedure is executed by the processor 410 _(UE), the UE 101 canutilize significant signaling resources and time associated withcompleting the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure.

The processor 410 _(UE) of the UE 101 can detect a recovery abortcondition while executing the at least one of the BFR procedure or theCBD procedure. The recovery abort condition can indicate that the DLbeam is a valid connection beam for the UE 101 to maintain connectionwith the network. The recovery abort condition includes one or more of arecovery indication threshold, a resource threshold QCLed with thefailed beam, or a RSRP threshold QCLed with the failed beam. In someaspects, the processor 410 _(UE) can determine a number of no BFIs,determine if the number of undetected BFIs satisfies the recovery abortthreshold, and signal an indication, by the communication circuitry 420_(UE), that the recovery abort condition is satisfied in response to therecovery indication threshold being satisfied. The term “no BFIs”relates to a scenario where the processor 410 _(UE)monitors for a BFIand does not detect a BFI event because beam measurements associatedwith the BFI procedure are satisfactory. In some aspects, the processor410 _(UE) can monitor one or more periodic QCLed resources that areQCLed with the DL beam, determine if the one or more periodic QCLedresources satisfies the QCLed resource threshold, and signal anindication, by the communication circuitry 420 _(UE), that the recoveryabort condition is satisfied in response to the QCLed resource thresholdbeing satisfied by the one or more QCLed periodic resources (e.g.,frequency, time, modulation symbols, spatial, coding, power resources,other channel properties, other antenna properties, etc.).

In some aspects, the processor 410 _(UE) can determine a best candidatebeam based on the CBD procedure where the best candidate beam is QCLedwith the DL beam, measure a RSRP of the best candidate beam, determineif the RSRP of the best candidate beam satisfies the RSRP threshold, andsignal an indication, by the communication circuitry 420 _(UE), that therecovery abort condition is satisfied in response to the QCLed RSRPthreshold being satisfied by the RSRP of the best candidate beam by thecommunication circuitry 420 _(UE).

In some aspects the recovery indication threshold can be associated withat least one of a channel condition or a motion condition detected bythe processor 410 _(UE). In some aspects, the QCLed periodic resourcesinclude at least one of a CSI-RS resource or a SSB resource that areQCLed with the DL beam. Furthermore, the QCLed resource threshold can beassociated with one or more of a channel condition and a motioncondition detected by the processor 410 _(UE).

In response to the processor 410 _(UE) detecting that the recovery abortcondition is satisfied with respect to one or more thresholds, theprocessor 410 _(UE) can autonomously abort at least one of the BFRprocedure or the CBD procedure. In some aspects, in response to a CBRAmode configuration of the UE 101, the BFR procedure or the CBD procedurecan be aborted before the processor 410 _(UE) generates a RACH Msg3 orafter a RACH attempt fails. In other aspects, in response to a CFRA modeconfiguration of the UE 101, the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure canbe aborted before the processor 410 _(UE) generates a RACH Msg1 or aftera RACH attempt fails.

In response to the processor 410 _(UE) aborting the at least one of theBFR procedure or the CBD procedure, the UE 101 can maintain orre-establish connection with the DL beam of the RAN node 110. As such,the UE 101 conserves resources by skipping further measurements andsignaling events associated with one or more of the BFR procedure, CBDprocedure, or RACH procedures, and maintains reception with the network.

FIG. 5 shows a UE 502 in a carrier aggregation (CA) mode 500 with a BS504. In CA mode 500, the UE 502 and BS 504 combine two or more carriers(e.g. frequency 1 (f1) 506 and frequency 2 (f2) 508) into a single datachannel thereby increasing the data rate. FIG. 6 show a UE 602 in a dualconnectivity (DC) mode 600 with a master node (MN) BS 604 and asecondary node (SN) BS 606. The MN BS 604 comprises a group of cells fora master cell group (MCG), including a primary cell (PCell). The SN BS606 comprises a group of cells for a secondary cell group (SCG),including a primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell). In DC mode 600,the UE engages in communications with the MN BS 604 and SN BS 606simultaneously thereby increasing the data rate and providing loadbalancing among different BSs. CA mode (500 of FIG. 5 ) operations arealso possible between the UE and at least one of the MCG or SCG toincrease data rates.

FIG. 7 illustrates a flow diagram of a method 700 for a UE autonomousBFR procedure with a recovery abort condition associated with undetectedbeam failure indications.

At 702 a UE 701 can be configured in a DC mode 600 (e.g., byprocessor(s) 410 _(UE)) where the UE 701 is connected to a downlink (DL)beam 705 from a BS 703 (e.g., by communication circuitry 420 _(UE)). TheUE 701 can, for example, be the UE 101, the RAN node, or the UE 502 orUE 602, with one or more of components of the device 200, or aspects ofsystem 400 including system 400 _(UE), with processors 410 _(UE),communication circuitry 420 _(UE), memory 430 _(UE) or the like. A basestation (BS) 703 can, for example, comprise at least one of a PCell froma MN BS 604, a PSCell from a SN BS 606, a gNodeB, or gNB, with one ormore of components of the device 200, or aspects of system 400 includingsystem 400 _(gNB), processor 410 _(gNB), communication circuitry 420_(gNB), memory 430 _(gNB) or the like.

At 704, in response to establishing a connection with the DL beam 705,the UE 701 can detect a beam failure of the DL beam 705 (e.g., byprocessor(s) 410 _(UE)). For example, directional communicationsintroduced by beam forming from the UE 701 and BS 703 can limitmultipath diversity and make the communications link susceptible tochanging channel conditions. The UE 701 can attempt to maintainconnection with the DL beam 705 by utilizing beam tracking or beamrefinement techniques to adapt to channel changes due to UE 701movement, blockage, or environmental factors.

The beam failure can generally occur in response to a quality metric ofthe DL beam 705 satisfying a threshold that indicates connection withthe DL beam 705 cannot be maintained. In some aspect, the beam failureis declared when a BFI counter threshold is satisfied as discussedfurther below. The UE 701 can perform beam related monitoring accordingto network conditions based on one or more of a layer 1 (L1), a layer 2(L2) or a layer 3 (L3) communication/signaling. Furthermore, beamfailure can occur when the beam tracking or beam refinement techniquesare unsuccessful. The UE 701 can detect the beam failure by monitoringone or more metrics from the DL beam 705. The one or more metrics cancorrespond to a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)resource or a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource comprised in anetwork radio resource control (RRC) configuredfailureDetectionResources.

In another example the UE 701 can detect the beam failure based on aCSI-RS resource comprised in an active transmission configurationindicator (TCI). The detection based on the active TCI state can occurif there are no RRC configured failureDetectionResources. The beamfailure may be associated with a RS comprised in the active TCI wherethe RS is QCLed with QCL Type-D. The active TCI state can be received bythe UE 701 in a downlink control information (DCI) from the BS 703, andcan include one or more quasi-co-located (QCLed) relationships between adownlink reference signal and the CSI-RS resource. The one or more QCLedrelationships can, for example, include channel properties that that canbe sensed, conveyed, or inferred by devices of both the downlinkreference signal and the CSI-RS resource. The channel properties caninclude one or more of frequency, time, modulation symbols, spatial,coding, power resources, other channel properties, other antennaproperties.

At 706, in response to detecting the beam failure, the UE 701 can beginat least one of a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure or a candidatebeam detection (CBD) procedure (e.g., by processor(s) 410 _(UE)). TheBFR procedure can be initiated when a beam failure indication counter(BFI_COUNTER) threshold is satisfied, such as a maximum, minimum orother threshold number of BFIs being determined or indicated. Forexample, BFIs are counted according to a measurement resource of thebeam (i.e. signal to interference noise ratio (SINR), a BFI maximumcount (BFI_maxCount) associated with the measurement resource indicatesthat the BFI_COUNTER threshold is satisfied while the BFI_COUNTER isactive. The BFI_COUNTER can be reset if a BFD timer expires. The BFRprocedure can include a BFI_COUNTER which is initially set to zero andmaintained by the MAC layer. If the MAC layer receives a beam failureindication from the PHY layer, the BFI_COUNTER can be incremented byone. The beam failure is detected if the BFI_COUNTER satisfies theBFI_COUNTER threshold.

To configure the BFR procedure the BS 703, for example, configures theUE 701 to monitor reference signals for the BFR procedure from the BS703. In some aspects, the BFR procedure can be configured using a BeamFailureRecoveryConfig information element (IE) of the BS 703. In someaspects, the BFR procedure can be based on a list, or a configuration ofcandidate beams or reference signals of the BS 703, which can include anindex (e.g., a serving cell index (ServCellIndex)) introduced in aparticular IE, such as a PRACH-resource dedicated BFR(PRACH-ResourceDedicatedBFR) configuration IE. In some aspects, the BFRprocedure can be based on one or more recovery spaces of Beam FailureRequest Response (BFRPs) and/or recoverySearchSpacelds for the BS 703.

In executing the BFR procedure, the UE 701 can initiate a random accessprocedure with the BS 703. The UE 701 then can select a suitable beam toperform beam failure recovery. In some aspects the UE 701 can select asuitable beam to perform beam failure recovery based on the CBDprocedure which can be based on a dedicated random access resourceassociated with the suitable beam (discussed further below). In responseto selecting a suitable beam, the UE 701 the BS 703 can complete acontention based random access (CBRA) RACH procedure or a contentionfree random access (CFRA) RACH procedure.

The CBRA RACH procedure can sequentially include one or more of a RandomAccess Preamble as Msg1 from the UE 701 to the BS 703, a Random AccessResponse as Msg2 from the BS 703 to the UE 701, a scheduled PhysicalUplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission as Msg3 from the UE 701 tothe BS 703, or a Contention Resolution as Msg4 from the BS 703 to the UE701. Furthermore, the CBRA RACH procedure can include repeatedtransmission of any of the Msg1, Msg2, Msg3, or Msg4, or othersignaling.

The CFRA RACH procedure can sequentially include one or more of a RandomAccess Preamble (Msg1) from the UE 701 to the BS 703, or a Random AccessResponse Msg2 from the BS 703 to the UE 701. Furthermore, the CFRA RACHprocedure can include repeated transmission of any of the Msg1, Msg2, orother signaling.

In some aspects, the CBD procedure can be performed by the UE 701 basedon a network configured candidate beam set as provided by the BS 703. Assuch, the network can signal indication of one or more beams of the BS703, to the UE 701 via L1/L2/L3 signaling. The UE 701 can select thecandidate beam from among the candidate beam set according to a beamquality associated with the BS 703. In some aspects, the UE 701 canselect the beam that has the best radio quality for random access basedon evaluation according to one or more criteria herein. For example, theUE 701 measures the RSRP of all or some of the candidate beams fromamong the candidate beam set, and determines the candidate beam with thehighest RSRP has the best radio quality for random access.Alternatively, or additionally, the UE 701 can select the candidate beamas being suitable to satisfying a configured or predefined threshold forinitial access.

In other aspects, the CBD procedure can be performed by the UE 701absent the network configured beam set. If the network does not indicatethe candidate beam set, or the candidate beam set does not have goodenough quality satisfying the configured or predefined threshold, the UE701 can select the candidate beam outside the configured set, forexample, based on probabilities of beam quality or other related beamcriteria.

After the beam failure is detected radio conditions can improve and itcan be possible for the UE 701 to maintain the connection with the DLbeam 705 shortly after the detected beam failure. For example, at anytime during the at least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure,radio conditions that resulted in the detected beam failure can changesuch that the UE 701 can maintain connection with the DL beam 705. Ifthe connection with the DL beam 705 can be maintained, then the UE 701can save resources and signaling by skipping at least one of the BFRprocedure or the CBD procedure which can include a RACH procedure.

The recovery abort condition indicates that the DL beam 705 is a validconnection beam and that the UE 701 can maintain the connection with theDL beam 705. In response to beginning at least one of the BFR procedureor the CBD procedure, the UE 701 can monitor the recovery abortcondition and detect if the recovery abort condition is satisfied whileexecuting the at least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure.

The recovery abort condition, for example, can include a recoveryindication threshold that indicates no beam failure indications (BFIs)(or beam failure instances) associated with the DL beam 705. Therecovery indication threshold can be generated by the UE 701 ordetermined by the UE 701 from signaling with the network.

At 708 the UE 701 can determine a number of no BFIs associated with theDL beam 705 (e.g., by processor(s) 410 _(UE) and memory 430 _(UE)). Insome aspects, during the BFR procedure, the physical (PHY) sublayer cansend BFIs to a medium access control (MAC) entity if certain beammeasurement criteria of the DL beam 705 are not satisfied.

In some aspects, the UE 701 can determine a number of consecutive framesof no BFIs. In other aspects, the UE 701 can determine a number of noBFIs intermixed with detected BFIs over a set of frames.

The recovery indication threshold can be based on at least one of achannel condition or a motion condition detected by the UE 701. Thechannel condition can include at least one of a channel qualityindicator (CQI), RSRP, precoding matrix indicator (PMI), CSI-RS, SSB,bandwidth parts (BPW), or the like. The motion condition can include atleast one of an accelerometer condition, orientation sensor condition, amobility state of the UE 701, or the like.

At 710 the UE 701 can determine whether the number of no BFIs satisfiesthe recovery indication threshold and signal an indication that therecovery abort condition is satisfied in response to the recoveryindication threshold being satisfied (e.g., by processor(s) 410 _(UE)and memory 430 _(UE)). As such, the UE 701 autonomously determines thatthe connection with the DL beam 705 is a valid connection beam.

At 711, in response to determining that the recovery abort condition issatisfied, the UE 701 can determine a RACH condition, and autonomouslyabort the at least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure at 712in response to satisfying the RACH condition (e.g., by processor(s) 410_(UE) and communication circuitry 420 _(UE)). Additionally, oralternatively, the UE 701 can continue counting BFIs.

The UE 701 can abort at least one of the BFR procedure or the CBDprocedure at any point during the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure.The BFR procedure can include a CBRA mode with the CBRA RACH procedureor a CFRA mode with the CFRA RACH procedure.

For example, as shown at 728, the UE 701 can determine that the RACHcondition can be satisfied when the CBRA RACH procedure has not yetsignaled a CBRA RACH Msg3 at 718, after a CBRA RACH attempt fails (e.g.,by processor(s) 410 _(UE) and memory 430 _(UE)) at 720. In some aspects,the CBRA RACH attempt fails when a contention resolution was notsuccessful, for example, when a random access contention resolutiontimer (ra-ContentionResolutionTimer) associated with the CBRA RACHprocedure expires. The RACH condition can be satisfied when the BS 703has not yet identified the UE 701 attempted RACH signaling via a cellradio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) of the UE 701 as part of theCBRA RACH procedure. Furthermore, the RACH condition can be satisfiedwhen the CBRA RACH procedure has not yet scheduled a MAC control element(CE) Msg3 transmission.

In another example, as shown at 722 (e.g., by processor(s) 410 _(UE) andmemory 430 _(UE)), the UE 701 can determine that the RACH condition canbe satisfied when the CFRA RACH procedure has not yet signaled a CFRARACH Msg1 at 724, after a CFRA RACH attempt fails at 726. In someaspects, the CFRA RACH attempt fails when a random access response wasnot successful, for example, a random access response window(ra-Response Window) configured by a beam failure recovery configuration(BeamFailureRecoveryConfig) expires. In addition, the CFRA RACH attemptcan fail when a PDCCH transmission in a search space indicated by arecovery search space ID (recoverySearchSpaceld) addressed to a C-RNTIof the BS 703 is not received by the BS 703. Furthermore, the RACHcondition can be satisfied when the BS 703 has not yet identified the UE701 attempted RACH signaling via a random access (RA) preamble from theUE 701 as part of the CBRA RACH procedure.

At 714, in response to autonomously aborting the at least one of the BFRprocedure or the CBD procedure, the UE 701 can maintain the connectionwith the DL beam 705 (e.g., by processor(s) 410 _(UE) and communicationcircuitry 420 _(UE)). As such, the UE 701 autonomously determines thatthe DL beam 705 is a valid beam in response to detecting the beamfailure, and the UE 701 skips potential signaling and measurements thatcan occur during at least one of the BFR

Method 800 includes 702 through 706 where the UE 701 can establish aconnection with the DL beam 705 at 702, detect a beam failure with theDL beam 705 at 704, and begin at least one of a BFR procedure or a CBDprocedure at 706 in response to detecting the beam failure. Furtherdetails regarding 702 through 706 are discussed in the description ofFIGS. 7 .

At 802 and 804, the UE 701 can detect a recovery abort condition whileexecuting the at least one of BFR procedure or CBD procedure (e.g., byprocessor(s) 410 _(UE) and memory 430 _(UE)). In response to beginningat least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure, the UE 701 canmonitor the recovery abort condition and detect if the recovery abortcondition is satisfied while executing the at least one of the BFRprocedure or the CBD procedure.

The recovery abort condition can include a threshold that, if satisfiedby one or more periodic resources that are quasi-co-located (QCLed) withthe DL beam 705, indicates that the BFR procedure can be aborted. Theone or more periodic resources that are QCLed with the DL beam areresources that can be associated with another candidate beam that isQCLed with the DL beam 705. The QCLed resource threshold can begenerated by the UE 701 or determined by the UE 701 from signaling withthe network.

At 802 the UE 701 can monitor and detect the one or more QCLed periodicresources. The one or more QCLed periodic resources can include at leastone of a CSI-RS resource or a SSB resource of a candidate beam that isQCLed with the DL beam 705. The QCLed resource threshold can be based onat least one of a channel condition or a motion condition detected bythe UE 701. The channel condition can include at least one of a CQI,RSRP, PMI, CSI-RS, SSB, bandwidth parts (BPW), or the like. The motioncondition can include at least one of an accelerometer condition,orientation sensor condition, a mobility state of the UE 701, or thelike. Furthermore, the QCLed resource threshold can be generated by theUE 701 or determined by the UE 701 from signaling with the network

At 804 the UE 701 can determine whether the one or more periodic QCLedresources satisfies the QCLed resource threshold and signal anindication that the recovery abort condition is satisfied in response tothe QCLed resource threshold being satisfied by the one or more QCLedperiodic resources. As such the UE 701 autonomously determines that theconnection with the DL beam 705 is a valid connection beam.

In response to determining that the recovery abort condition issatisfied, the UE 701 can proceed with autonomously aborting the atleast one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure when the RACHcondition is satisfied at 712. In response to autonomously aborting theat least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure, the UE 701 canmaintain the connection with the DL beam 705 at 714. The UE 701 canautonomously abort the at least one of the BFR procedure or CBDprocedure and maintain connection with the DL beam 705 even if there isa better candidate beam. Further details regarding 712 and 714 arediscussed in the description of FIG. 7 .

FIG. 9 illustrates a flow diagram of a method 900 for a UE 701autonomous BFR procedure with a recovery abort condition associated witha RSRP of a quasi-co-located (QCLed) best candidate beam. Method 900shows several similar embodiments to that discussed in FIG. 7 , as wellas alternative embodiments with regards to the recovery abort conditionincluding determining a best candidate beam at 902 that satisfies aQCLed RSRP threshold at 904

Method 900 includes 702 through 706 where the UE 701 can establish aconnection with the DL beam 705 at 702, detect a beam failure with theDL beam 705 at 704, and begin at least one of a BFR procedure or a CBDprocedure at 706 after detecting the beam failure. Further detailsregarding 702 through 706 are discussed in the description of FIGS. 7 .

At 902 and 904, the UE 701 can detect a recovery abort condition whileexecuting the at least one of BFR procedure or CBD procedure (e.g., byprocessor(s) 410 _(UE) and memory 430 _(UE)). In response to beginningat least one of the BFR procedure or the CBD procedure, the UE 701 canmonitor the recovery abort condition and detect if the recovery abortcondition is satisfied while executing the at least one of the BFRprocedure or the CBD procedure.

The recovery abort condition can include a RSRP threshold that indicatesa RSRP of a best candidate beam that is QCLed with the DL beam 705. TheRSRP threshold can be generated by the UE 701 or determined by the UE701 from signaling with the network.
